Can liver cirrhosis be transmitted to others?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, I have a friend who hasn't been in touch for a long time. Yesterday, he called me and said he would get together in a few days. Then, on the phone, he mentioned that he had recently been diagnosed with liver cirrhosis. I felt uncomfortable after hearing this, although I don't mind him, I'm also upset that he might transmit it to me. I would like to ask if people with liver cirrhosis can transmit it to others?

Doctor's answer:

Mainly, it is the spread of hepatitis B virus. Just pay attention. The first one is liver cirrhosis that will never be infected, mainly due to the result of liver fibrosis and expansion. Liver fibrosis refers to the process of excessive fibrosis of collagen fibers and connective tissue in the liver. In the later stage of liver fibrosis, it is early liver cirrhosis. During the early stage of liver cirrhosis, patients usually have no obvious symptoms, and liver function is also normal. In addition, during the treatment of liver cirrhosis, the patient's dietary condition and nursing are also very important. Patients must pay attention to rest, and can appropriately move, to avoid unnecessary injury.
